i exercise every day. i pretty much always look the same. lean, almost ripped, but not very muscular, really. i'm somewhat content to stay about the way i am.
I'm jacked and getting more insane everyday, up 10lbs of muscle since Dec., its crazy what flinstone vitamins can do. I welcome you to visit for a workout...let me know. My gym is literally behind the green monster...there are like 10 clubs surrounding it (landsdowne st.).;
I soooo know what you mean...I was always intemidated to use the squat machine and some others because they are in the back with all the big boys...no women ever go back there!! It is aggravating. I do go back there when fiesty and here beau go...still am such a weakling in comparison to most.
Very happy with my legs, that (and my boobs ) are my best features.
<------wants J-Lo booty but right now...more like typical white girl...flat pancake...lol
We're soul sisters on this one. I have what I used to not-so-fondly refer to as "ballerina flat ass," and my legs are easily the best bodily feature.
I also call that part of the gym the "big boy" area, and I've observed long enough to know that there is only one regular female who goes back there and she's some 40 something leather face who goes back and does...crunches? on the bench press benches while flirting with guys younger than me.

I ran cross country and worked out all through school and up until I had my son......yes, it was a long time ago but my legs had never really gotten out of shape....I think wearing 3-4 inch heels helps
Give me a progress report/status update. What is current split, what are your goals, what is lagging, what is looking good, what do you need help with, etc, etc.
My workouts are going well -- when I have them. It's mid-terms for me and school comes first. Stressed out, don't feel like eating, so eating seems like a chore, but I do it.
lift 4 times a week and cardio 4-5 days in the AM 30 min with optional walks in the evening to burn extra cals if I want.
Progress has not stalled yet....... average loss of about 1.25 lb a week with a whole cheat day but diet is good other days. Trying to cut back on drinking but thats the hardest thing for me to do. lol. Everything else is easy.
